Chapter 371: Successor Horse

To Ji Ji's surprise, the wind actually took less time than the horses of the Xin Ziqi family to reach Yeyang.

Guan Shan told her that if the horse was good and the road was good and the land was flat, twenty miles of land would basically be a little more than two quarters of an hour.

The section from Dafeng Village to Juyong Town, the road condition is very general, not very easy to walk, but the section from Juyong Town to Yeyang City, in addition to half of the dirt road, the rest is the post road and the official road, which is very open and flat.

What's more, the wind is a war horse, although it has not yet recovered to its peak state, and it is not comparable to ordinary horses.

Plus it's intentionally performing...... The last time I came back from Yeyang, the horse of Xin Ziqi's family took on the responsibility of driving, which was probably very unacceptable to it, so it has been isolating people for the past few days.

Fortunately, the horse of the Xin Zi family is a mare, with a docile personality, and is not as knowledgeable as it.

Mare?

Ji suddenly had an idea.

"Is Hurricane a father-in-law?"

She had heard that geldings, that is, castrated stallions, were used in the army.

It's a pity to say that every carefully selected war horse is brave and warlike, and if it is bred, it will be the best horse breed, but in order to prevent them from developing in the spring. If you are in trouble, even if you feel sorry for it, you have to be castrated.

Otherwise, once it arrives. In aes, they can become irritable, aggressive, aggressive, difficult to control, and even cause a series of uncontrollable consequences, no different from riding on a time bomb every day.

In history, there has been a case where one of the belligerents used a mare to seduce away the other party's horse, which sounds ridiculous at first glance, but if it is a party, I am afraid that I will scold my mother.

Geldings don't have that concern.

A castrated horse will become more docile, will not bite and kick easily, ride on the horse very smoothly, even if it is not leashed after dismounting, it will not go far, and when hundreds or thousands of horses are gathered together, it will not neigh indiscriminately.

With the strength of a stallion and the suppleness of a mare at the same time, it is not surprising that it has replaced stallions and mares as the main force of cavalry units.

Ji Jue felt that the wind was ten like, and he had already "entered the palace".

Alas, alas, what a pity.

Running fast and looking good, although he is a little ugly at the moment, he looks good......

Even though Guan Shan was already able to keep up with her train of thought, his face was still obviously stiff.

"It's not."

After digesting it, I patiently explained the reason to her.

"It is true that geldings are commonly used in the military, but the general situation does not mean that they are universal. Gelding horses are indeed docile and obedient, and can become stronger, but at the same time it means a decrease in blood and wildness, depending on what the person who drives it needs. ”

Obviously, what Guan Shan needed was a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side and a weapon that was extremely lethal, not just an obedient riding tool.

Ji Xin knew that Guan Shan must have done something special, since most of the army used geldings, it showed that the requirements for the emotional stability of horses were still in the first place.

"Then why not use a mare as a mount? The mare has a gentle temper and is easy to handle, so it should be quite suitable for being a war horse. ”

"The mare lacks attack power, its combat effectiveness is not as good as that of the stallion, its stamina is slightly worse, and the mare has to carry cubs and give birth to cubs, and cannot ride for several months of the year, let alone go to battle."

In addition, the breeding function also limits the large-scale use of mares on the battlefield.

To have a certain number of war horses, it is necessary to have a large number of mares to breed, and once the mare loses too much on the battlefield, it will bring disaster to the subsequent development.

Unless it comes to the point of last resort.

What is the last resort? It is nothing more than the country is poor and the family is weak, and it has suffered from troubled times. Then what else is there to pay attention to, naturally what is the use, not to mention the stallion mare, the mule has to be pulled up the battlefield.

In other words, the mare is important, but it is mainly used for breeding offspring and consignment of grain and grass...... I can't imagine that the horse people also have biological chains.

Ji sighed, and then cheered up.

Since Hurricane is still a healthy horse, is it okay......

She raised her eyebrows at Guan Shan: "Let's find a daughter-in-law for the wind and give birth to a pony?" ”

When Guan Shan leaves, Hurricane is bound to go with him, and she has to find a good pick up in advance. Banma.

Guan Shan: "...... You ask the Wind. ”

The wind couldn't speak, shook his long ears, and ran faster and faster.

Ji smiled: "The wind must have no opinion, as soon as you say find him a daughter-in-law, look at this momentum......"

As soon as the words fell, the wind suddenly stopped.

If Guan Shan hadn't reached out in time to pad the car frame, Ji almost hit his head.

Guan Shan turned his face sideways, and glanced at the wind without a trace, and the wind immediately wilted and drooped.

When he realized that there was someone waiting to grab a job next to him, his head was raised again.

"Here we are."

Guan Shan took the sleeping Dabao and got out of the carriage, and turned back to help Ji.

Ping An heard the sound of the car wheeling and was already waiting at the door of Yidetang.

The carriage was handed over to the medicine boy to be settled, and after looking at Dabao, who was still asleep, Ping'an pointed to the second floor and asked if he wanted to send it up to rest.

I heard that the house I want to see is nearby, and it will be fine in a while, Ji nodded.

It's only been a few days since the last time, and Yide Hall is no longer the appearance of a cold door.

There are not many guests, but there are also a lot, which is enough for Xin Ziqi and Liu Xinglin to be busy.

Ji didn't let the two of them bother, followed Guan Shan directly upstairs, and asked Ping An in a whisper What was going on.

Ping An smiled: "The blessing of Topan Zhi County." ”

Ji stopped at the corner of the wooden ladder and observed the clothes of the patients in the lobby, who were either dressed in splendid clothes or subordinates of large families, and his heart was clear.

I heard that when Pan Jiadao first came to Yeyang, he was not very popular, and many people were not optimistic that he could stay, but they didn't expect him to gain a firm foothold.

After a series of events such as opening a warehouse to help the army and borrowing grain for disaster relief, Pan Jiadao's influence in Yeyang is now increasing.

But anyone who has a little insight knows how big a crime is to open and close positions privately? Even if you have merit, you can only lose your head, and the official hat will definitely not be able to keep it.

But Pan Jiadao not only retreated, but also received a commendation from the imperial court, if he said that there was no one behind him at this time, who would believe it?

It is even rumored that he will be promoted next year.

In view of this, there are people who are trying to find ways to trap them, and Panjiadao's every move has inevitably become the vane of Yeyang City.

However, Pan Tiemian's nickname is not called in vain, and the ten ** people who come to the door have to eat closed-door soup.

Even so, there are still only a lot of eyes staring at the county government every day.

Actually, there's nothing to keep an eye on.

He's really boring and tight, he can't be thundered all year round, except for office is office, he doesn't make friends with people, and he doesn't have any obvious hobbies.

So everyone's attention turned to Xin Ziqi, who has been often in and out of the county government recently, and the doctor who can be regarded as a guest of honor by Pan Zhi County, must have excellent medical skills.

How did Xin Ziqi not know that these people were drunkards and did not mean to drink? He just pretended not to know.

See a doctor, yes.

House call is also acceptable.

Talk about anything else, no comment.

These people's motives may not have been pure at first, but soon, they were really impressed by Xin Ziqi and his senior brother's medical skills.

Ji sighed, the show has a celebrity effect, and the county also has a celebrity effect, all of which are moving live signs.

Now it is only attracting a small number of people, and there should be more and more followers in the future.

Upstairs, next to the reception room, is where Xin Ziqi rests on weekdays, but according to Ping An, this is almost where he lives.

Put Dabao on the bed, cover the quilt, and safely instructed the medicine boy to take care of people, and the three of them went out of Yidetang together.
